| Category | Sexual Harrassment Law |
Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 protects women against harassment at workplaces and establishes mechanisms for complaint, inquiry, and redressal. Sexual harassment may include unwelcome physical contact, verbal remarks, inappropriate messages, intimidation, or hostile work environments. At Deepti Dogra & Associates, legal guidance is available for complainants as well as employers dealing with Internal Committee proceedings, complaint drafting, inquiry representation, and compliance obligations. The law requires organizations to maintain Internal Committees and conduct fair inquiries within statutory timelines. Legal support becomes critical when allegations affect employment rights, reputation, or institutional liability. Apart from workplace proceedings, related criminal remedies may also arise depending on the seriousness of allegations. Proper legal advice ensures procedural fairness while protecting legal rights under both labour and criminal law frameworks.
